Know Yourself Better

Many believe that no one knows us better than we do. Yet some people come to a point in their lives where they begin to question who they really are and what they want out of life. For those who want to rediscover themselves and follow a new direction in their lives, here are 5 easy ways to do it.

1. Keep a journal. Write down everything that happens to you. What you think, what you feel, your problems, and even what you eat. Journaling is a great way of getting an accurate picture of your life and yourself. It helps you see the bigger picture and patterns in the way you live your life.

2. Know how other people perceive you. Ask the people you live with, work with, or spend time with what they think about you. You’ll probably not get a 100% truthful answer but it will give you an idea of how you project yourself to others. You might be surprised to find out that it’s very different from the way you see yourself.

3. Learn how you perceive other people. You might not know this, but most of the time we see part of ourselves in other people. Did you ever ask yourself why you hate a certain person so much? Maybe you see something that you don’t like about yourself in them. In most cases, people are like mirrors to you, helping you see yourself from another perspective.

4. Do the opposite of what you’d normally do. When faced with a decision (not a life-threatening one) in life, for once do what you feel would be unusual for you and see what happens. Challenge yourself. This is a great way of learning more things about yourself than if you keep doing what you’d normally do.
